The Travis County DA Race

If anyone who hasn't voted is looking for a recommendation for how to vote in the Travis County District Attorney race, Rick Reed seems like a good choice. He was apparently a big behind-the-scenes part of bringing down Tom DeLay, and he promises to zealously pursue elderly person abuse and sexual predators. He is also the only candidate who has vowed to never seek the death penalty during his tenure. I think that by itself makes him a good choice for the most visible and powerful DA position in Texas.
